Excerpt from Property in Territories The honorable Senator from Illinois, (Mr. Douglas, ) to whom I listened with great interest and respect during the last two days of the session, has presented his views, not only elaborately, but with great strength and power, upon this very question of the relations between the Territories and the States - views from which I differ totally - views which, if correct and carried into effect, must rend asunder existing party alliances and bring the southern States to separate organization. They involve, of necessity, a discussion upon, a minute inquiry into, and a thorough understanding of, the relation which the occupants of a Territory bear to the States of the Union; because a Territory, I believe all admit, is a common property, belonging just as much to one State as to any other; in which all have equal rights, and in which the Constitution requires that the rights of all shall be equally respected. Nor is it abstract; because the very question has arisen before the country, and is now depending in the legislation upon your table. It involves the constitutional control of the States of the Union acting through the Federal Government upon the Territories - a great principle - a control affirmed on one side, and directly disaffirmed on the other. Now, what is it? The territorial, or organic law, as it is called, is a law passed by the Congress of the United States organizing a government in a Territory. The character of the organization; the powers that are conferred upon the people of the Territory, and those that are withheld from them; the mode in which they are exercised, are all necessarily expressed in that organic law. Some fifteen years ago, it was claimed, by a majority in both Houses of Congress, that, in passing a law creating and establishing government in the Territories, Congress had the power to create a disparity between the States of the Union; that Congress had the power to declare that one condition of society belonging to certain States of the Union - that of African bondage - should not go into the Territories. Congress asserted that power as a constitutional right. It is known in popular acceptation as the Wilmot proviso - the interdict denounced by Congress in the organic law of the Territories against the admission of African bondage into the Territories. It was resisted to the best of their ability, and in the sternest manner, by the States interested. They were overruled. According to my recollection, in more than one instance, certainly in organizing the Territory of Oregon, that interdict was put in the law. The southern States were deeply moved. They felt not only that they were aggrieved, but that the compact which they had entered into with the other States had been violated to their wrong. There was hardly a Legislature, if any, in the southern States that did not express the sentiment of their people on this violation, as they considered, of the great compact between the States - the Constitution. It resulted that men took counsel together. In the year 1850, when it became necessary to organize new Territories, arising from the acquisitions obtained at the close of the Mexican war, a series of measures were projected in the Senate affecting this condition of society, African bondage, in various forms, and were blended together in one bill, including the organization of the new Territories, which was termed by its friends a great measure of compromise. I do not mean to go further into that history than to exhibit its results. The bill failed to pass; and those various measures were enacted separately, in various forms. They passed, however, by the general term of compromise measures, I was one of those, occupying a seat in this body, who disapproved of many of those measures, and voted against them. They were passed, however. In that legislation, a new feature was introduced in the laws organizing territorial governments.

Excerpt from Neutral Persons and Property Within Belligerent Territory The right of a belligerent to exact military service of any in dividual within its control is due not merel to his presence within its territory, but also to the existence of such a relationship between the State and the man as to burden the latter with an obligation toward the former which it may fairly deem to be incapable of satis faction save by performance of the task assigned. When the indi vidual is a national of the belli erent the existence of the debt is acknowledged, and the mode 0 satisfaction regarded as a matter of domestic concern. When he is an alien, the State of his allegiance, if it be a neutral, may fairly scrutinize and inquire into both the validity of the obligation and the method' by which fulfillment is demanded.

Excerpt from The Territorial Question The settlers in the territories being citizens of the several states, as well as citizens of the United States, their right, as such citizens, to intro duce the institutions of their respective states into the common territory cannot be relinquished, either by themselves or by their representatives so that the rights of those who may come after them into the territory may not be infringed upon. If any portion of those citizens should introduce into such territory any profession 011 institution which is recognized as legal by the constitution of the United States and that of the state from whence they come, the other part of the people residing in such territory, or the government itself, have no right to interfere to suppress or restrain their introduction, 011 in any way to attempt to prevent those persons from the exercise of such natural and legal rights. The people of the United States being the owners of such territories, and having an equal right in their common property and occupancy, each ought to be permitted to enjoy without molestation all the advantages arising from that common ownership, which does not in any way interfere with its common use. None should be permitted to change or destroy a common water-course, 011 otherwise disarrange any of the general rights of his fellow tenants; so should none attempt to suppress the exercise of the full rights of others in regard to the kind of labor they may employ. Nor can the government of the United States, or of the several states, interfere with the people in the exercise of these rights.

Excerpt from Property in the Territories: Speech of Hon. Benj. F.

God knows, if you once have it established and acquiesced in by the people of this Union, that the dicta of the Supreme Court - a political court by its very constitution, yea, packed on this very sub ject, as every Senator here knows - are to be the laws binding on every other department, we have the meanest despotism that ever 'pre' vailed on God Almighty's earth. But I have no fears of it, sir. You may effect a temporary purpose by it; but a doctrine so absurd, ' so ia compatible with the minds of the Anglo Saxon race, so inconsistent with the great principles of free government, will never be permitted to stand.

Excerpt from Territorial Expansion and the Federal Constitution I. Of the power of the United States to acquire territory under the Constitution, there can now be no doubt. The power of any sovereignty to acquire territory pertains to, and is an incident of, the power to declare war and make treaties. As a legitimate means pf prosecuting war, the property and territory of a belligerent may be seized and confiscated at the will of the captor; and when war exists, the government possesses all the extreme powers which any sovereignty can wield, and among these is the power to acquire territory either by conquest or treaty.

Excerpt from Property in the Territories: Speech of Hon. Benjamin F. Wade, of Ohio, Delivered in the Senate of the United States, March 7, 1860 The next accusation, and the strongest one, of the Senator from Georgia, is, that we pass what he calls personal liberty bills, which were, as he claimed, in violation of the Constitution of the United States and he said that the State of Ohio occupied the same position with the other free States in that particular. Well, sir, as he placed Ohio upon the same ground with the others, I have not taken pains to examine the action of the others, trusting that if there was no foundation under heaven for the Charge he made against Ohio, it was equally groundless against the other States. I say, hen, to that Senator and the Senate, that the State of Ohio has never passed a law in viola tion of the Constitution of the United States; that it never has been derelict in its duty in this respect. Does any Senator here suppose that a sovereign State in this Union is going to relinquish all her right of protection over her citizens, because there is a provision of the Federal Constitution by which a certain class of individuals may be taken out of the State That would be to abandon every individual to the ruthless claim of any unprincipled man who sought to claim him. Cannot a sovereign State of this Union prevent the kidnapping of her free citizens, because you have a right to claim a slave eeing from service?

Excerpt from On the Government of the Territories: The Constitutional Power of the General Government and the People in the Federal Territories Another claim for this power of intervention has been set up through the medium of the Judicial Tribunals. It. Is said that the Supreme Court, in the Dred Scott case, having declared slaves to be property, (a proposition never denied by a lawyer, ) the Constitution protects property in the Territories. Grant it; but the Constitution does not create property, nor determine what property is. Nor does the Constitution extend more protection to property in the Territories than in the States. If, then, the right of property enables, by virtue of the Constitution, a mas ter to carry his slave into a Territory and be protected against the local law, it equally enables him to carry such slave into a State, and be protected there against the local Constitution or laws of the State; for the Federal Constitution is the Supreme law of the land, and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding. If the Constitution then enables Congress to protect slaves when carried into a Territory because they are property, it equally enables that body, for the same reason, to protect them when carried into any State. The pro perty in the slave is the creature of some law or legal recogni tion of the State from which he came, and if this property is pro tected against the local law of prohibition in one place it must be in another: or else the Constitution has greater force in one part of the land over which it is the supreme law than in another. But the inference drawn from the Dred Scott case is not justified by the case itself, and it need be referred to no further.

The whole complex ma chinery was built up to secure protection to the citizen. For what have you Governors and judges and legislators and sheriffs in States? For what does the Constitution of the United States provide executive, legislative, and judicial departments; for what does it grant power to lay and collect taxes. Duties and imposts; to define and punish piracies and other offences on the high seas and offences against the law of nations; to declare war; to raise and support armies; to provide for calling forth the militia; to execute the laws of the Union? For what does it enjoin the high duty on this Federal Government to protect each State against invasion from without and domestic violence? Sir, there is 'but one answer - protection, protection.
